SUPPORT FOR MUSIC-LEAF TURNERS.

SPEGIFIdATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 662,235, dated November 20, 1900;

Application filed April 7, 1900. Serial No. 11.926. (No model.)

' a citizen of the United States, residing at Slate Hill, in the county of Orange and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for Music-Leaf Turners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of my invention is to make a support for music-leaf turners which can be readily attached to any musical instrument, and also provide means for adjusting the leafturner on the support.

The device may be used for other purposes to which it is adapted where it is desired to quickly detach the support and the device held thereby.

In the drawing the support is shown in perspective view.

The support is formed of a strip F of suitable spring-metal, one end of which is curved and in which is a curved slot A. In this is placed a clamping thumb-screw G for adj ustably securing the music-leaf turner (not shown) or other device to the support. The

lower end of the strip or support is bent at D at about a right angle to itself, extending to the left to any suitable distance, where a return-bend H is made on the same plane and extending slightly beyond the bend at D and which nearly comes in contact with the same,- thereby forming a spring-clamp, by which the support is attached to any suitable device. The end strip is then bent into an intercoil E, thus preventing it from catching into any thing.

It will be seen from the foregoing that to place the support in use the thumb-screw is caused to clamp the music-leaf turner to the upper end of the support after it is properly adjusted, when the support is then pushed upon an instrument or table,so that the spring at the lower end of the strip will retain the support and the device attached thereto.

What I claim is A support for music-leaf turners consisting of a strip of metal curved at one end, the strip having a curved slot in said curved end and provided with a clamping-screw, the strip be ing bent at the other end upon itself,and with a return-bend forming a spring-clamp whereby the support is attached to any suitable object.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SAMUEL W. HORNBEOK.
